    All of Kiama's hipsters and skaters and gym kids and anyone with a Mumford and Son style felt hat and a beard and active wear and cool sneakers and sleeveless shirts and shimmery hair all hotfoot it down to this little could-be-at-Bondi cafe for a dose of the good stuff in an environment that makes people-watching as fun as eating and/or drinking. On a cracking day the outside seats are where you wanna be, otherwise hunker down inside and order pretty much anything from the kick-ass menu, it's progressive enough that you'll never get bored with the usual brunchy type dishes you've had a thousand times, they kick things up to the Pepsi Max with meals like Muscle Pancakes made with protein and cacao nibs, chilli scrambled eggs, an Acai Detox bowl with kale and coconut water, and a shitload of awesome coffee and salads and, oh yes, burgers are a thing at lunch time and there's heaps to choose from and they're epic and that's all I have to say about that.

    Best burger and chips in town. This place is in one the terraces in Collins Street and is very popular for good reason. Great coffee too.

    It was just a bit too loud, and they moved us as soon as a table outside opened up.

    So we were in Kiama for a beautiful wedding and naturally stayed the night.. So looked forward to a…read moreyummy breakfast with a view. Waited for a table which we thought was a good sign that the food must be good. Got a nice seat by the window, so happy start! Ordered 2 flat whites, Eggs benny & a banana bread for hubby. Coffees came..... , ..............., ............... (time) Just to let you know by now there are empty tables everywhere.. An hour later, I kid you not! Others that came in had already eaten and left.. I asked them how long more.. at least the banana bread? another 5 mins they say. ....... 15 mins later again.... My husband had a conference meeting with NYC so by the time Breakfast came he had left to leave my on my lonesome on this trip to eat brekky... YES we still had to pay for the banana bread.. So to my Eggs Benny.. It is stated to be served on a muffin.. I added Mushrooms & Hash brown - roughly 4 - 4.50 extra each. If that was a muffin it was the dense heavy muffin I have had! It was like a burger bun - maybe they ran out of muffins... but be courteous and let me know. It was plated OK but honestly not much flavor there... The hash brown was sprinkle With what I think was Dukkar or some horrible mix of flavored salt and I couldn't eat it.. YUK! Overall was very disappointing and wish I didn't waste my money.

    Terrible service. Sat and waited for 15min while this girl served everyone around us and just…read moreignored us. Then she went and stood up at the counter chatting and laughing with another co worker. Ended up having to leave and go somewhere else
